my head light on the right hand side isent working on the low beam setting but on the high beam setting she is working fine. So I thought my bulb burnt out I changed that came home with the new one same thing so than I was thinking my switch was going, so I replaced it but still the head light isent working. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on this one.
thanks dwayne.

Hi, did you check fuses, with a testlite? Under the dash, left side, fuse 18-- 10 amp. Goes hot when you turn on the headlamp switch, not only check fuse, use a testlite on the circuit, make sure the circuit has voltage.

Yes I checked all my fuses and you are right it is #18 and it is a 10a fuse but the problem lye's why is that fuse blowing. See the head light will stay on when the car is parked and has a new fuse, but as soon as I start driving it goes out right away.

I guess, I'd have to look at it. For testing, you could use a testlite in place of the fuse. The testlite controls the load on the circuit, you could use a digital voltmeter. Take right headlamp connector loose, turn on the headlamp switch, use the tester, if voltage is present, I suspect a short on the wiring circuit to the headlamp or faulty connector. Intermittent stuff is a pain to track down.
